I'm writing a test suite using Atata and am receiving this exception "Selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document" trying to iterate over all the <tr> elements in a <table>'s <tbody> element.
The issue appears to be rooted in the DataTables jQuery library being used in the web app being tested; everytime the 'draw()' method is invoked on the client/JavaScript side, it removes all <tr> and their enclosing <td> elements and re-creates them. This means the test only works for the very first <tr>.
Basically with each <tr>, my test clicks a button in each table row that causes DataTables.js to re-draw the entire table each time; the only thing that changes between each re-draw is 2 CSS classes get modified on the current <tr> element:
Before button click:
<tr class="bringup-overdue reminder odd" role="row">
After button click:
<tr class="bringup-completed d-none reminder odd" role="row">
The number of rows remains the same after each re-draw, and except for the CSS class changes, all the HTML code for the table remains exactly the same, but because all existing DOM-references have been lost, the "Selenium.StaleElementReferenceException" exception keeps happening. The re-draw is an AJAX operation, not a full page reload.
Is there any way to get Atata to simply refresh all of its internal references to those newly-re-created elements? I know from working directly with the Selenium API, you can simply re-try calling 'FindElement', like in this answer here, but I can't seem to find an equivalent Atata API for that.
